4 little freebies – free miles, free money, and more!
One thing I really missed about being out of the country (and semi-off the grid) for the past six weeks was being able to snap up little deals like these.
If you’ve got five minutes, you can earn a few freebies that are well worth the (very minimal) effort!
$25 hotel credit
Hotel Engine is a new hotel booking site to add to your collection. 🙂
Right now, they are offering a $25 credit just for signing up with a referral link (if you do not use a referral link, the credit is only $5).
The great thing about this offer is that there is no minimum amount you need to spend in order to redeem it. In other words, you can grab a deal by booking an inexpensive hotel and applying the credit. This could come in handy for a random hotel stay!

Rocketmiles quiz
I used Rocketmiles for the first time a couple of months ago, when they were offering an extra 3,000 miles for booking a hotel stay.
I had never used Rocketmiles before, mainly because I was focused on award stays, with the occasional TravelPony cheapie thrown in. However, under the circumstances (Rocketmiles was offering the hotel I wanted, at a comparable price to other sites, plus the additional bonus), I decided to give them a shot. I’m happy that I did – it was definitely worth the extra points.
I like that Rocketmiles seems to run frequent promos, many of which are open to folks who are not first-time bookers on the site (in other words, anyone can get the free points).
They’ve got one of these promos going on right now – you can get an extra 1,000 miles on your next booking when you take this Travel Quiz.
Don’t forget that you can get another free 1,000 miles for sending them a postcard.
Don’t have a Rocketmiles account yet? If you sign up using my link, we each get 1,000 miles after you complete your first stay.
Free Lufthansa miles
These offers may or may not work, but they are certainly worth a try.
This one might get you 1,000 miles.
And this one could get you another 500 miles.
Ah, it’s good to be home.

SPG link “not found”.
Geoff – Thanks! Fixed!
Hotel Engine is only giving me a $5 credit – and I went through your referral link.
Patty – Oh no! I just called them but had to leave a message. Will try to fix this asap.
Looks like it’s a system bug. I’ll keep you posted, but here’s what they’ve told me so far:
Hi Kendra,
I just left you a voicemail as well, but wanted to let you know that we’re looking into this right now. I appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and I apologize for the bug.
Feel free to call me if you have any questions or comments about the site.
Thanks Kendra, I’ll wait to hear from you.
Patty – I heard back from them. Everything should be working fine now!
Thanks Kendra – I got the $25!
Yay! Hope you get to use it somewhere fun 🙂
